Great Britain won 12 golds on day four in a record-breaking super Sunday, but to even match half that tally made day five a magic Monday.
That said, there were still some moments of heartbreak for British athletes.
Para-badminton player Bethell said he was “devastated” after a heartbreaking loss to India’s Kumar Nitesh in the men’s SL3 singles final in Paris.
The Briton, who also took silver when the sport made its debut in Tokyo in 2021, had match point at 21-20 ahead in the decider, but lost 14-21 21-18 23-21.
His team-mate Coombs lost his SH6 singles final later on Monday 21-19 21-13 to Frenchman Charles Noakes as Britain’s wait for a first Paralympic badminton gold continued.
Two-time Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock finished fifth in the men’s T64 100m final.
The 31-year-old told Channel 4 he needs to find “2017 Jonnie” to compete against the best.
There was also disappointment for David Weir, who finished sixth in his heat and failed to qualify for the men’s T54 1500m final, while GB’s men’s wheelchair rugby team lost their bronze-medal match 50-48 to Australia.
